A perfect film? Distinguished by Demme's smallest touches (kids on bikes, wheelchair guy in lift - as usual, lots of black Americana in evidence - film is almost as much about black-white divide as AIDS?)
Really smart, the way people or things appear and you think 'why?' only for that to be resolved later. Most interesting direction, at times Hitchcocky, but with its unique way of shooting almost straight at you.
Written by Ron Nyswaner (also The Painted Veil).
And - Mary Steenburgen at her most horrible!
The statue is that of city founder William Penn atop Philadelphia City Hall.
